Corn Husk Doll on Horse

Wilbur M Rice

National Gallery of Art

The image is a drawing of a horse with a figure on its back. The horse is depicted with interwoven strands, creating a braided texture across its body. The mane and tail are formed by fine lines that convey a sense of flow and movement. The rider is shown wearing a garment that also uses line work to suggest texture. The background is a plain, neutral color, emphasizing the details of the horse and the figure. The minimalist approach highlights the intricate inner patterns of the subject.
